Commemorative monolith in Dore Village
The Dore Village Society's website has this to say:
"The importance of Dore was its position on the boundary of the Anglo Saxon kingdoms of Mercia, recently conquered by King Ecgbert of Wessex, and Northumbria, the second most powerful kingdom. At the time, Northumbria was under pressure from viking raids and unable to fight on two fronts, leading to the acceptance of Ecgbert as overlord and effectively the first king of all England. The event is commemorated on the village green by a gritstone monolith with a black granite plaque in the shape of a Saxon shield, appropriately emblazoned by a Wyvern, the war emblem of Wessex."

Christ Church, Dore
There has been a chapel in Dore since the late 1100s. It was a chapel of ease within the Dronfield parish until 1844. The present church was built in 1829 and was then in the diocese of Lichfield and Coventry and the See of Canterbury. It's now in the diocese of Sheffield and the See of York.

Dore Church
There are some substantial headstones here perhaps indicative of the fact that Dore has long been an affluent area. Elsewhere in the churchyard smaller stones mark the graves of railway navvies and their families who died of smallpox while digging Totley Tunnel. Christ Church itself dates from 1828 and was designed by Richard Furniss (or Furness) a local schoolmaster, initially as a chapel of ease to Dronfield. Dore became a parish in its own right in 1844.
